YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison on Friday for the murder of George Floyd.

He was found guilty in April of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Mr. Floyd's killing in May 2020 sparked nationwide protests over police brutality and brought to the forefront conversations of systemic racism in America.

Prior to his sentencing, members of the Floyd family gave impact statements before the court. "On behalf of me and my family, we seek the maximum penalty," said Terrance Floyd, the younger brother of George Floyd. "We don't want to see no more slaps on the wrist. We've been through that already."

Mr. Chauvin also briefly addressed the court. "I want to give my condolences to the Floyd family," he said. "There's going to be some other information in the future that would be of interest and I hope things will give you some peace of mind."
